Which document are you referring to? You shouldn't have random *'s in
the command or parameters. Try "qvm-prefs fedora-26-dvm" (without
quotes) to get a list of valid parameters and what they're currently set to.

Re: [qubes-users] Updating Linux and Whonix

[E. Foster]

Thanks for the reply, 

I finally started working on the appVMs with the docs in hand.  I've had to 
restart my apps designs from the start after reading some of the docs.  
You're right, there a lot of apps.  I am now trying to find the libre 
office ones to install in a template hopefully I can get in done in the 
next few days.  As a matter of fact, I found this passage.  

in disposablevm-customization.md qvm-prefs: 


You can set an appVM as a template for a disposableVM.  

*qvm-prefs fedora-26-dvm template_**for_**dispvms True*

However, when I tried it I would get the following returned messages: 

*qvm-prefs: error: no such property: 'template_for_dispVM'*

*qvm-prefs: error: no such property: 'template_for_dispms'*


However the exact syntax in the in the Docs show *template_**for_**dispms*.  
Where for is in italics.  

How would you activate italics in Dom0 to write the exact syntax?  Or is 
there another script that will accomplish the feat?  


thanks,

Whatever programs you need in your AppVM's, needs to be installed in your 
template VM's, the AppVM's are based on. Then you have to "refresh" the 
menu, becuase you might not want everything in the menu. That is mentioned

This might work if you change 30 with 31: 
https://www.qubes-os.org/news/2019/05/30/fedora-30-template-available/ or

Re: [qubes-users] Updating Linux and Whonix

[E. Foster]

Greetings, 

Thanks for responding,  

Yes you are correct.  I made a visual mistake.  I read through the 
documentation a week or so ago and those were the version numbers I 
retained.  To answer your question:  Install 4.0.3, Debian 10, Fedora30, 
Whonix 15.  

However, as you said, I should upgrade to Fedora 31.  Or my system should 
have upgraded it to Fedora 31.  Other news flash, I did find the error in 
parameters for setting up whonix connections without the signal.  I had to 
match the templates between advanced and basic in the settings for the VM. 

None the less, I am still a little worried about what I did during the 
upgrade process.  Because, I can't seem to have any peripheral programs 
such libre office or other in an accessible or visible manner.  ( Currently 
working on the installs).   There are a lot of programs available for quick 
install but once you believe you installed them.  I can't find them in any 
drop down menu.  Perhaps, I did something wrong.  

However, I am still working on the Zoom install, hopefully, I can figure 
out how to upgrade to fedora 31, Is there a means to check for all internet 
connections such as Netstat, so I can identify the IPs and block all the 
others?  

Thanks so much for your suggestions,

what documentation is that?
there is no "fedora 35 or 36" yet.
those are versions that will be released in 1-2 years.
